Have you ever heard Don Henley’s song Dirty Laundry?
I never paid it much mind until the company I work for started broadcasting CNN Headline News in our breakroom. Now, I know what he was talking about when he sang about how some newscasters glorify the lurid, the gory, the tragic.
Well, not all do so, I’m happy to say. Take the folks who run today’s FamilyFirst site, for example.
The site is called HappyNews.com. And their mission, in case you didn’t already guess, is summed up thusly:
Real News, Compelling Stories, Always Positive is what you’ll find on HappyNews.com. We believe virtue, goodwill and heroism are hot news. That’s why we bring you up-to-the-minute news, geared to lift spirits and inspire lives. Add in a diverse team of Citizen Journalists reporting positive stories from around the world, and you’ve got one happy place for news.
The fact is that there IS happy, good news out there if you look hard enough. And that’s what the editors and contributors of HappyNews.com make their mission. They find it and present it to you, to lighten your load and lift your spirits.
So enjoy today’s FamilyFirst site. It’s good for a nice, upbeat reflection on what’s going on in the world that’s NOT bad news.
